About Us

In August 2010, Reach A Ride was founded to establish a
web-accessible database of specialized transportation
information in the National Capital Region. Reach A Ride
also provides telephone support for consumers and social
service agencies for improved access to information about
the multitude of transportation options for people
with disabilities, older adults, persons with limited
English proficiency and low-income commuters.
The toll-free number is 855-Reach A Ride (855-732-2427).

Data on transportation options was collected in the
following geographic areas in the National Capital Region:

This regional database continues to be updated on a regular basis.
Participants are provided a unique login to the system and asked
to make changes to their agency's information on an as needed
basis. The development of the Reach A Ride database and website was
supported by the contribution of technical services from:

The Regional Clearinghouse Working Group

The American Foundation for the Blind
Consulting Services

KFH Group

The COG/TPB Alternative Commute Program will continue to maintain
the site. Funding for maintenance of the data and the site has
been provided through a Job Access and Reverse Commute grant,
matched by WMATA and provided by the Federal Transit Administration.
Current funding will expire on June 30th, 2017.
